Connecting the Camera
3
NOTE
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before
permanent installation. For instructions on how to set up PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling
the PTZ Camera with an NVR, page 15.
3.1 Option 1: Connecting the Camera to an NVR
1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to the included Ether-
net extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE+ ports on the
back panel of your NVR.
NOTE
• You can use up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your
NVR.
• The camera is compatible with all Lorex HD NVRs except for LNR200 & LNR300 Ser-
ies. For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit
www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
3.2 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Net-
work (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same router as the NVR. For these installations, an external PoE+ switch
(sold separately) or power adapter (included) must be used to provide power
to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will show a
picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
